Kiyotaka Of Class B ( Year 1 )

Arc 4.5 Chap 4 : Hot day

The blazing hot sun dominated the whole school campus, It was so hot that if you wore your School uniform, You would be sweating buckets

Which is exactly what i was wearing, While making my way towards the school's building

I passed along multiple people who were wearing light summer clothes, I honestly envied them. But after all, It was me who accepted this Invitation

When i woke up today, I received a message from Manabu asking if i had time to hang out with him. Although i am sure that he would talk about the exam's results, So i agreed

The student council's room is undergoing a rehab, So one of the clubs were kind enough to let them borrow their Room

I entered the School building and walked towards the Club Chamber. I knocked when i arrived, And the door opened revealing a purple Haired Tachibana

" Come in Ayanokouji-kun " She welcomed me with a warm smile. Tachibana's attitude towards me has changed since the day where i helped her with Manabu, Which is nice.

I walked inside the room and i was instantly met with the pleasant cold air, It was very refreshing

Manabu was sitting at his desk looking as usual as ever, His Sharp stern expression were displayed on his face

Tachibana closed the door and happily went to the kitchen, Without Manabu muttering any word.

" Thank you for making time for my invitation Kiyotaka " Manabu Thanked with a small smile

" Don't mention it Manabu " I shrugged. I grabbed the chair in front of him. However he stood up

" Let's move to the sofa, It is much comfortable that way " I nodded and i sat on the sofa. Manabu went towards a shelf and started pulling something " I heard from Sakayanagi that You're good at Chess, Do you mind a game ? " A game of chess against Manabu huh ?

" Not at all " He Brought the Chess board to the table and started setting it " I am intermediate at Chess, So go easy on me "

" You expect me to believe that ? " Manabu Smirked

" No at all " He finished setting up the board, I turned it around " I'll take Black "

" Going with a handicap i see. You must be confident " I smirked at him, He responded with the same " Let's play, Intermediate-kun "

Manabu Played Pawn e4, King's Opening. I countered with Pawn C5

" Sicilian i see " He grinned. Tachibana came back with two cups of Tea. " Thank you Akane " Akane ? Interesting....

She handed me a cup of Tea while Flustered, I bowed to her and she responded with a smile, Stepping aside

" How did the exams treat you Kiyotaka ? " He asked with Interest in his voice

" It has been tough. The school baited us twice " I said as i played my next move

" But you managed to come out on top on both of them "

" Unfortunately, That last one ended in a stalemate " I took his Knight using my Bishop

" Aren't you happy about that ? " He traded using his Queen

" No, It's just that, Honami ended up getting betrayed so she couldn't win "

" It is unfortunate that you got Betrayed by Class D " He is a very strong opponent, As expected of someone from his Caliber

" It is what it is " I shrugged

" But you helped them during The Island exam right ? "

" How did you know ? " I looked at him, He had an unreadable expression. I didn't deny it, Since i want it to move in that way
